It’s once again that time of year where I make my annual pilgrimage back to Bloomington, Indiana, where all the Dumbing of Age magic fictionally happens!  Mark Friday, October 12 on your calendars.  And, as always, you can find me at Vintage Phoenix Comics, from 5-7pm.  I’ll bring books!  I’ll bring magnets!  I’ll bring an insatiable desire to rack up as many gifts from the “Cat Statue” Pokestop as I can!

and maybe i’ll get to visit that new computer science building that i drew into the strip before it was completed in real life i dunno

I’ll be at CXC 2018 this weekend!

This Saturday and Sunday, I’m gonna be at Cartoon Crossroads Columbus (CXC) here in my very own hometown of Columbus, Ohio.  It’s an annual comics convention held at the library downtown!  And, like, one of those real comics conventions, with actual comics people there.  There’s bigtime comic book folks this year, like Brian Michael Bendis and Matt Fraction, and also us webcomic folks are represented, like Melanie Gillman, Ngozi Ukazu, and Blue Delliquanti.  And also, crazily, announced at the last minute is special guest Olivia Jaimes, the enigmatic new artist behind the newspaper strip Nancy.  She’s gonna have a late Sunday panel and we don’t even know who she really is, it’s exciting!

It’s also a incredibly nice-looking location, with lots of windows.  90% windows.  I mean, it’s a library.  An amazingly-nice library.  I was there a few hours last year and it was just… cozy.

Anyway, I’ll be there!  I’ll be at table 6!  (It’s first thing on the right hand side, can’t miss me.)  I’ll have books and magnets and probably some prints.

ADMISSION IS FREE

because it’s in a library

Dumbing of Age SIX BOOK COMBO is now available in the online store!

There’s six Dumbing of Age books, and now you can get them all at once for a reduced price!  Just log on over to the Dumbing of Age online store, and you’ll find the six-book combo listed there.  Get the whole thing (so far) at once!  It’ll all come in two padded flat-rate envelopes, three books per!  For an extra $10 I will doodle/autograph inside them all!

For those of you overseas, there’s a little extra bonus for you.  International shipping is way expensive, especially for TWO packages full of large heavy-ass books, so I’ve eaten the portion of the shipping costs.  It’s down $15 if you live in Mexico/Canada, and down $20 to everywhere else!  So hop on that.  Consider it a “jeebus yes you bought six whole dang books from across the globe” special rebate. Don’t forget you can add a Dina magnet to your order!

don’t worry i will still love you if you only get one or two books

Before Dumbing of Age, these characters featured in another universe, another webcomic!  I guess that’s the tl;dr intro to…

The It’s Walky!: Year Zero book is now available in the online store! It’s 112 pages of the first It’s Walky! storyline from way back in 2000, plus its 2004-2014 redraw!  Get the book clean or get it signed/doodled in! S’up to you.

I need more Muslim characters! Or at least more prominent ones who aren't Raidah. It is a huge giant hole in my strip that makes it suck. The current storyline would've been way better if they existed. But they don't, and no amount of throwing Asma in for three strips solves it.

Happy Nonbinary People's Day, you gemstones. A year or two back we introduced FLASH GORDON's first enby, the outlaw lawman Bones Malock. Having known and loved a lot of nonbinary people, I knew the truest way to represent you was as a unsettling desert pirate with a lightning sword
Flash Gordon's Bones Malock:
Bones Malock, under captions reading:
Bones Malock and Flash Gordon.

Flash: Okay... wait thirty seconds, then give me a distraction.

Bones: Got just the thing.

Flash: Do NOT blow the place up.

Bones: You're the boss.

Okay, everyone's jumping to conclusions, but Joyce was hit with a mysterious pink gas in Thursday's strip. Now, in recent years, the police are known to increasingly use military grade weapons. Which reminded me of this bit of proposed technology from the 1990s: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gay_bomb

hey, kid, what do you want to play with from the cool superhero movie? is it a nude, melting senator who feels like a stretch armstrong doll that has been left out in the son and maybe mildly chewed by a neighborhood dog? WELL, SON, YOU'RE IN LUCK!
the most upsetting toy of all time: a small and horrible statue of melting, nude Senator Kelly from the first x-men film
